Large sales, such as the $383 million U. S. worth of Bitcoin in this case, could put downward pressure on the price of the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

There is speculation online that the owner of the Bitcoin is looking to upgrade their crypto wallet after a long period of time rather than planning to sell the digital asset.
